Sadly to say, I am still pregnant! I was due Friday, and it's Wednesday so I am 5 days overdue. My doctor says that it would be best if I didn't go past 41 weeks. My mother was pregnant and her uterus was smaller than normal, and they let her go until 43 weeks and the baby went into stress and came out a stillbirth. Since I most likely have a smaller than average uterus like my mom, it would be safer for me to have this baby sooner than later!
My wish would be to have a natural labor, but my induction is scheduled for this Friday, May 2nd. I am scheduled to get to the hospital at 7am, which means we have to leave the house at 5am. Kate will be going with my parents, they are staying at our house with her. I'm so thankful that I have family willing to help me out! The actual induction will happen probably around 10am they told me, maybe earlier if possible. I am planning on not getting an epidural, I know that it will obviously be painful, but I know that if I believe I can do it, I will be able to handle the pain! Jaspy completely supports my decision. He has a plan to distract me, mostly consisting of making out and getting frisky the whole time! In case you didn't know, sex can help bring on labor, so that is all Jaspy and I have been doing this past week! I am thinking that it is working, because this morning I woke up with light contractions, not painful though. I am thinking Braxton Hicks, but I'm hoping I'll have this baby soon :)
